Do It Yourself

DIY funerals, also known as home funerals, are an alternative to traditional funeral arrangements. These types of funerals allow families and loved ones to take control of the end-of-life process and create a personalised and meaningful farewell for the deceased.

​

In a DIY funeral, the family or loved ones of the deceased take on many of the tasks traditionally performed by funeral directors, such as preparing the body for burial or cremation, arranging for the transportation of the body, and planning the funeral ceremony.

​

One of the primary benefits of a DIY funeral is that it can be significantly less expensive than a traditional funeral. Funeral homes and directors often charge high fees for their services, and these costs can add up quickly. DIY funerals can help families avoid these costs by doing much of the work themselves.

​

Another advantage of a DIY funeral is that it allows families to create a personalised experience that truly reflects the life and personality of the deceased. With a traditional funeral, families often feel constrained by the expectations of the funeral industry and may not have the opportunity to fully express themselves. With a DIY funeral, families can create a ceremony that is unique and meaningful, incorporating elements that are important to the deceased and their loved ones.
